The Complicated Relationship

Chapter 5

We run as fast as we can to the car. But I stop suddenly when I see a mud puddle. Freddie then turns around.

"Sam, what are you doing?" he asks.

"Nothing," I say. "Just this!" I then throw a hand full of mud at Freddie. He try's to dodge it, but it lands right in the middle of his shirt. He looks at me with one of his looks. I flash him one of my brightest smiles. "I love you!" I say. He then flashes me a smile.

"I love you too." he says, holding his arms out and walking towards me.

"Freddie, what are you doing?"

"Just giving my girlfriend a big hug." he then wraps his arms around me. I try escape his grasps, but he just continues to hold me tighter. 

"So, that's how it's going to be huh?" I say.

"Yep." he responds. 

"Well then," I say taking a big glob of mud. "Hope you like the taste of mud!" I then fling it in his face. He then let's go of me and I begin to run.

"Not so fast." he calls after me, and throws a glob of mud at my back. I then stop in my tracks. 

"Ok, I see how it is." I then grab a huge glob of mud, and so does he.

"On the count of 3." Freddie says.

"1"

"2"

"3!" We both then fling our mud and start a mud a war. We grab mud and fling it at each other. We run up behind each other and push each other down. And every now and then Freddie will come up behind me and give me a hug.

"Ok," I say, in the middle of one his hugs. "This is officially the cheesiest date I have ever been on."

"But it's also the greatest date you have ever been on right?" I shrug my shoulders.

"It's ok." I say with a laugh. Freddie then lets me go and I fall face first in the mud. I then lift my face out of the mud and turn to Freddie. "Not cool."

"I thought it was pretty cool." 

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Well then, you must think this is pretty cool."

"Think what is really cool?"

"This." I then swing my leg and kick Freddie down to the ground. I smile. And he smiles back.

"Ok, maybe I deserved that."

"Yeah, you did," I say. "Now come on. Let's get going."

"Ok." We then help each other up and run to Freddie's car.

"My mom's going to kill me when she sees how dirty I got!" Freddie says as we get in the car.

"Well, she doesn't have know." I say.

"But she's going to once I get in my house."

"Or you can clean off at my house. And then go home."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, as along as you take me back with you. I'll have a sleepover with Carly tonight, that way when she goes to sleep you can come over and sleep with me."

"Aren't you afraid we might get caught?" I wave my hand.

"Please. We do Wake Up Spencer all the time when I spend the night and you end up sleeping there anyway. I promise you, Carly won't get any ideas." Freddie sits and stares for awhile thinking it over.

"Ok," he finally says. "I trust you." I then lean over and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you." I say. He gives me a smirk.

"I love you too." He then drives off.
